Laowa, the originator of the 24mm f/14 Probe, Periprobe, and 24mm T8 Pro2be, is set to launch a groundbreaking Zoom Probe Lens in Q2 of 2025. Building on its legacy of innovation, this new lens combines the signature advantages of its predecessors with industry-first features, delivering unmatched versatility and creative control for cinematographers and photographers alike. Designed to outperform competitors and exceed market expectations, it offers:
15mm Widest Perspective for Enhanced Storytelling Possibilities
Powerful & Par-focus 2.3x Zoom Range for Greater Framing Flexibility
Direct, Periscope, and 35-degree Tilt View for Dynamic Angles
Up to 2x Magnification for Finer Details
Unrivaled Sharpness and Superior Image Quality

Laowa's previous probe lenses revolutionized macro videography by capturing intricate details in hard-to-reach places, while also offering a unique, bug-like perspective that plunges viewers into a new and immersive world. Laowa is grateful that the probe lenses have been widely used and appreciated by professionals across the industry for decades. We listened closely to our users' feedback and remain committed to advancing our products. With the upcoming Zoom Probe Lens, Laowa once again pushes the boundaries of innovation-delivering a wider field of view and broader focal range to meet the ever-evolving demands of professional creators.
Availability The forthcoming Laowa Zoom Probe Lens will be officially announced with more detailed specifications. It will be available for shipment in Q2 2025. Stay tuned for more exciting news from Venus Optics.
